What are you playing: end of days

Tell me what you are playing this week Shackers, or are you taking a bit of a slumber to prepare for Dishonored and XCOM: Enemy Unknown?

Attempting to kill the world is fun. And sort of addictive. Plague Inc., by Shacker jamiejme and Ndemic Creations, launched for Android devices yesterday after holding the top slot over on the iOS marketplace for quite some time. Essentially, the game boils down to a handheld version of the movie Contagion, except in this case you will tailor the symptoms, evolution, and spread of the disease. Design something terrible, and unleash it upon the world.

It's really a fun game. Play it this weekend if you need something to do!

Garnett Lee: Busy weekend ahead but I hope to find some solid time to get in with Dishonored and my Vault Hunter ways continue to demand my attention on Pandora in Borderlands 2.

Steve Watts: I'll be devoting most of my weekend to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. If I have a few moments to spare, I'll probably keep trying (unsuccessfully) to take down fully grown cows as a common house cat in Tokyo Jungle.

Tyler J. Smith: Plague Inc. looks like its going to take up most of my time as I try to evolve something worthy of being a humanity killer, and otherwise I'm watching a ton of Dota 2 videos to learn what to do before playing my first game.
